2023 Kickoff Countdown â Houston Dash BACKGROUND INFORMATION Established: 2014
Head Coach: Sam Laity (1st year) Like more well known names like Fishlock, Rapinoe, and Barnes, Laity was an original Reign assistant coach that served under Laura Harvey (twice!), Vlatko Andonovski, and Farid Benstiti, as well as serving as Reignâs interm head coach after Benstiti was fired and Harvey came back. All three coaches have different managerial and tactical styles, so his 10 year term with Reign speaks to his versatility as a coach.
Which also means we have no idea how he is going to utilize the considerable talents that Houston has. For example, take Shea Groom. She was an integral part of James Clarksonâs teams because of her value as a defensive attacking player, her workrate, and her tenacity. She was an afterthought for Juan Carlos Amoros because of her recklessness, physicality, and a very slight loss in speed which only accentuated her transition from âplaying on the edgeâ to âviolenceâ.
Houston, under Laity, is an open book, except for one quote from his inaugural press conference. âWhat I want to bring to the table is a team that is devastating.â Might be looking up for Groom., come to think of it.
General Manager: Alex Singer (2nd year) Singer is part of this new generation of general managers in the NWSL who actually played in the league. Hired in August last year, she played in the WPS, Germany, Sweden, Australia, Norway, and the NWSL. She joined by Angela Hucles, Michelle Lomnicki, Yael Averbuch West, Cami Ashton, Haley Carter, and Karina Leblanc as vets of domestic American soccer leagues.
So far, Singer has been more aggressive than Clarkson was on the player operations side, and hasnât shown an orthodoxy when it comes to hires.
Captain: Jane Campbell
Sure Stadium: Shell Energy Stadium, Houston, TX
Capacity of 22,000, though the unofficial cap for the Dash is 7,000. Shell held the highest attendance ever record for an NWSL playoff game for about 24 hours.
Ownership: Ted Segal Heâs a real estate bro who bought the team from Gabriel Brener, Oscar De La Hoya and Ben Guill, and since has put a lot of money and effort into the Stadium, and Dynamo without leaving the Dash behind. Specifically, he changed the structure of the team so Dash actually had an independent operations staff, including adding a team president, and general manager.
Off the field, this seems like the first time in their history the Dash have their shit together. They are joining into strategic partnerships as more than an afterthought to the Dynamo. Also, Houston is one of the most diverse cities in the world, and have 1 million people who identify as Hispanic/Latino. The team is FINALLY marketing talented Latina athletes under contract, with Maria Sanchez, Diana Ordonez, and Barbara Oliveri. They even looked south to increase their scouting investment, signing Paulina Gramaglia from Argentina.

2022 Season Review In April of 2022, things were looking very, very down for Houston. They had been eviscerated twice by Mallory Pugh and the Current, and squeaking by Louisville in two gamesâŠand their head coach had just been put on leave for being abusive. Leading into the season, the 2021 7th place team seemed heading downward, picked to finish anywhere between 8th and 10th in the new season.
Season opened with a loss to San Diego, and then 6 straight games without a loss under Sarah Lowden. By the time Juan Carlos Amoros took over on July 12th, Dash were in 4th place, and never dropped out of a playoff spot.
Part of the turnaround was Lowden and Amorosâ updating of the Dashâs tactics, which had grown stale under Clarkson. In the Challenge Cup run, Clarkson played a static back 4 (almost no offense responsibilities for the full backs) being shielded by Sophie Schmidt, whose responsibilities were to get the ball to Groom/Rachel Daly where Veronica Latsko would try to win it back as quickly as possible if the plan went awryâŠskilled players like Nichelle Prince had their creativity harnessed in service of a high, chaotic press. This plan stopped working in 2021 when other teams started attack from the outside, and by the end of the year, Daly was being bracketed, unable to get service. It was just mayhem.
When Louisville coach Kim Bjorkergren now-famously said that Ebony Salmon wasnât in his plans, Houston pounced and grabbed the 21 year old while Daly was in England for the EUROsâŠthis proved fortuitus as Daly transferred to Aston Villa. They both played a more free-flowing offensive game, attacking with fullbacks (mostly Natalie Jacobs) until the roster-deadline trade for marginalized Gotham right back Caprice Dydasco.
The tactical/personnel changes made Dash harder to play against, both tactically and physically as their physicality didnât change, but selective pressing made it harder for other teams to just follow the script to beat Houston. The end result was a 3rd place finish on points, and locking into the 4th seed for their first playoff appearance in club history.
Unfortunately, the playoffs were cancelled and there was no game where I acted like a gigantic baby for an hour after completion.

Predicted Preferred Gameday XI â None of the preseason games were streamed, and as stated, Laity hasnât ever really been a head coach in the league before, so this is more who
I would start, rather than any idea who might start. This also works under the assumption that Nichelle Prince wonât be available this season because of her Achilles tear from November.
Formation: Offset 4-4-2 The thinking behind these tactics is to shut down the middle of the field and force other teams to play on the outside. Though Campbell is inconsistent as a keeper, the center pairing of Prisock and Lind have the benefit of being very steady and also playing together for 94.5% total minutes together for the Dash once Prisock finished her loan in France (99.6% post-Challenge Cup). Both Petersen and Dydasco are offensive-minded outside backs that can create on offense, and either hold their own (Petersen) or be dominant on defense (Dydasco). To supplement, Sanchez is stronger defensively than Viggiano, so they complement the outside backs. Sanchez herself would be an outside MVP candidate if flashier goal involvement stats.
The middle of the pitch can be clogged by Sophie Schmidt, who very quietly is one of the best defensive midfielders in the leagueâŠone of the few 6s that are equally effective moving the ball forward with her feet or passing, and can influence a game sitting back or attacking. In front of her would be Groom who is an excellent pressing distributer who can help lock down the pitch if she can toe the line between shithousing, and recklessness.
Upfront is one of the most dangerous strike duo in the league, Ebony Salmon and Diana Ordonez. The downside of this pairing is that other than Portland (though we might see it on a smaller scale in Kansas City with Kizer and Hamilton), no other team uses a âtoll and smollâ forward paring (fans of English football in the aughts know what Iâm saying here), and neither of these players are as dynamic as Sophia Smith. Though they do it differently, Ordonez and Salmon profile basically as the same type of playerâŠthey are equally likely to score a brace as to not have their name read during a broadcast. Before her shoulder injury that sapped her effectiveness,
Ordonez was the prototype âbig ladâ taking service and scoring ruthlessly. Salmon was more likely to run into space and score off her own skill, but at times she was bracketed last year, leading to her scoring dropping and the Dash having to rely on the midfield for scoring later in the year.
Likely Top Bench/Subs: First | Last | Pos |
Michelle | Alozie | F |
Joelle | Anderson | F |
Allysha | Chapman | D |
Emily | Curren (Ogle) | M |
Ryan | Gareis | F |
Jylissa | Harris | D |
Sophie | Hirst | M |
Natalie | Jacobs | M |
Barbara | Oliveri | M |
Havana | Soulan | M |
My best guess. Alozie, and Gareis are both versatile enough to play in all three levels of the field, and Jacobs held her own when pressed into service. The midfielders listed are most likely to fill in for injury and rest reasons, and when the World Cup rolls around, itâs likely draft pick Sophie Hirst will replace Sophie Schmidt for the duration, with some help from Havana Soulan.
At left back, itâs probably more likely Chapman is in the lineup than Petersen, just because sheâs stronger defensively, but she is another likely World Cup pick, has been dealing with nagging injures that players in their 30s tend to pick up, and gives very little going forward.
Rayadas import Barbara Oliveri will probably get some matchup starts over the season, and I wouldnât be surprised if sheâs first off the bench in the case Groom goes out of pocket.
Something to Prove Shea Groom â Last season, she wasnât trusted enough to play in the playoff game (that didnât happen) against the Current. Sheâs out of contract and free agent eligible, so this year will determine if Houston even makes an attempt to re-sign her.
Ebony Salmon â Again, sheâs out of contract as well, and unlike Groom, likely to get interest from Super League teams in England. If she pots 12-15 goals, she might be the striker Arsenal have been looking for. Or Alissa Russoâs replacement at Manchester United.
Kelcie Hedge â Given her playing time, and injury historyâŠthis might be the end of the road for a promising talent who also canât stay on the field.
Out for the season Nichelle Prince â I think? Probably.
2023 PREVIEW Realistic Best Case Scenario â Shield Winners
The forwards score 30 goals between them. The team stays injury free. Dydasco, Groom, and Petersen play like itâs 2021 again. The rookies intergrate well, and Hirst seamlessly fills in for Schmidt. Lind, and Prisock are a wall. Laity announces himself as one of the best coaches in the league. Luck favors H-town. They continue to be a
team of wives.
H-Town Bay-be!
Realistic Worst Case Scenario â 7th-10th
None of the above happens and they play like they did from 2014-2019, 2021. Injury abounds. Luck punishes my hubris for the above.
Realistic Most Probable Scenario â 3rd-5th.
This is a very talented team, and they donât look to lose much starting power to the World Cup. Injuries, as always, are the great equalizer. Though I have serious questions about how Ordonez and Salmon will fit together, offense shouldnât be a problem for Dash, and the defense is improved. They were a bounce or two away from finishing third last year, and even though Kansas City jumped them in talent, there are a lot of pieces that need to fit in Kansas also, as well as being without their internationals for 6 weeks, something that will affect Reign, Portland, and San Diego also.
I used my own incomplete Team Quick Code and used
u/LAZYTOWWWWWN list to correct the teams I hadn't named. This works with CollegeBBallCoach2
